Red Rock Sky

Prompt

Desert Americana with Spanish guitar, mariachi trumpet accents, dusty slide guitar and a steady driving beat. An anthem for the US state of Arizona, proud, warm, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: male lead vocal] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Sun comes up on painted stone a billion years in the making The Colorado cuts a canyon that leaves every stranger shaking Saguaros stand like sentinels across the Sonoran floor Arizona, you're the heat and the hush I keep coming back for [Chorus] Under a red rock sky, where the cactus wren sings From Phoenix to Flagstaff, I know what freedom brings Grand Canyon State, you carved a place in me Arizona, you're the wide open where I'm free [Verse 2] Sedona glows at sunset like a fire that's never done Tucson in the monsoon rain, Tombstone in the sun Route 66 through Flagstaff pines, the old neon still bright Navajo stars above the mesa, a million points of light [Chorus] Under a red rock sky, where the cactus wren sings From Phoenix to Flagstaff, I know what freedom brings Grand Canyon State, you carved a place in me Arizona, you're the wide open where I'm free [Bridge] Ditat Deus, says the seal, the land itself is gold Every canyon has a story that is waiting to be told [Chorus] Under a red rock sky, where the cactus wren sings From Phoenix to Flagstaff, I know what freedom brings Grand Canyon State, you carved a place in me Arizona, you're the wide open where I'm free
